I think perhaps my months long creativity void is slowly dying away. At least I have felt a bit more like do something lately than I have over the last few months. I'm also finding a bit more inspiration these days.
Tonight I found a stock that inspired me to do a little something and here is the end result.
It still make take a me a bit to get enough "energy" flowing to paint, but a manipulation is good for now.

As for the title...ahhhh maybe I'm just not as creative as I had hoped. I thought the reference pic had such a "romantic" feel to it, so I wanted to use that; and the BG a rather "gothic one...so hence the title. See not terribly creative.
